For the athlete whose training method emphasizes simultaneous progression in two or more distinct fitness modalities—such as powerlifting and running or CrossFit and cycling—the goal is to become a 'multi-modality specialist' rather than just a multi-sport athlete. Members of the hybrid community might deadlift twice their body weight and run a sub-20-minute 5k or a five-minute mile on race day. Additionally, hybrid athletes typically possess an exceptional understanding of their bodies and mental health.
